“Jika” is a lively and uplifting collaboration between Shaunmusiq and the powerhouse vocalist Leon Lee, blending infectious Amapiano grooves with a spirited vocal performance that instantly grabs attention. From the opening bars, the track bursts with vibrant percussion, rolling log drum patterns, and shimmering melodies — a production style Shaunmusiq has become known for.
Shaunmusiq recently appeared on Mali featuring Thatohatsi.
Leon Lee’s vocals bring the heart and soul to the song. With his trademark deep, resonant delivery, he weaves a catchy hook and compelling verses that carry both energy and charm. The word “Jika” — meaning “turn” or “twist” in isiZulu — becomes the central theme, tying the song to the dancefloor and inviting listeners to move in sync with the rhythm.
The production balances playfulness and drive, with clever breaks that let Leon Lee’s voice shine before the beat drops back in with irresistible intensity. The layering of melodic keys, airy pads, and rich bass tones creates a full-bodied sound that keeps the momentum going from start to finish.
